It
was a week of highs and lows for Cleveland sports teams and their fans.

On
Sunday, the Indians won the American League Wild Card and the champagne flowed in
the locker room. On Wednesday, Tribe
bats went cold and dejection replaced the delirium just three days earlier.

On
Thursday, the Browns hit prime time and it looked like there would be more
heartache as hometown hero Brian Hoyer winced in pain after injuring a
knee. But instead of more depression,
fans went home happy with a 37-24 victory over the Buffalo Bills.

For
the photojournalists covering the teams, it was a roller coaster ride as
well. Plain Dealer photographer Chuck
Crow, who photographed most of the Indians home games this year, traveled to
Minneapolis to shoot the last few games of the regular season. Chuck captured the Tribe's joy as they beat
the Twins in the last game and then got drenched documenting the joy in the
champagne-soaked locker room.

The
came the wild card game in Cleveland three days later After photographing hundreds of Indians games
over the years, Chuck knows his job is to show the good and bad, the highs and
the lows. He's also a big fan and feels
what other fans are feelings. Wednesday
night was tough for him but he kept his emotions to himself and did his job.
